Sreesanth approaches Kerala HC seeking NOC from BCCI to play in Scotland

With the Scottish Premier League concluding on September 9, Sreesanth wants no delay in getting the NOC.

Sreesanth is desperate to feature for Glenrothes Cricket Club in Scotland

What's the story?

Former Indian pacer S Sreesanth, who was cleared of spot-fixing allegations by the Kerala High Court, is once again seeking legal help to resurrect his cricketing career.

The 34-year-old is interested in playing the Premier league matches of Glenrothes Cricket Club in Scotland and has already communicated his desire to the BCCI.

However, with the above-mentioned tournament concluding on September 9, Sreesanth is worried that the board may try to delay the availability of the NOC and has asked the Kerala HC to intervene.

"Without the intervention of this court by issuing the necessary clarification, this petitioner reasonably apprehends that the BCCI may not issue such NOC," Sreesanth mentioned in his petition to the honourable court.

In case you didn't know..

Sreesanth's eventful cricket career seemed to have come to an end when the BCCI imposed a life ban on the fast bowler for his role in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.

The heart of the matter

Despite the court order and the subsequent plea from the Kerala Cricket Association to allow Sreesanth back on the cricket field, the BCCI are not keen on the fast bowler's return and is set to appeal against the order by the Kerala HC.

The reports generated an angry response from Sreesanth who lashed out against the BCCI on Twitter, citing his innocence and added that he would keep fighting to get his livelihood back.

Sreesanth has made no qualms about his desire to play the 2019 World Cup but with the BCCI sticking to its stance and not backing down, it seems unlikely that the speedster would be granted his wish.
